[SRlew]

well, just got me new fuel cap as the old one is stuck on, as the key snapped off in it! (aftermarket one)

just need to know if i can dissconect the fuel pipe behind the filler cap, so i can drill through the old fuel cap without getting bits in the tank.

will drilling through it work?

there are 3 screws that hold the filler pipe to the bodywork, BUT the fuel cap locks into the pipe itself.

good luck...
